Parliamentarians from the ruling party itself have pressured and criticized the Minister of Energy, Diego Pardow, to look for new alternatives to mitigate and combat the price increase in electricity bills.
The imminent increase in electricity rates has undoubtedly become a headache for the government. In fact, parliamentarians from different political sectors have pressured and criticized the Minister of Energy, Diego Pardow, to look for new alternatives to mitigate and combat the price increase in bills.
Likewise, there are those who allude to the fact that there is distrust around the head of the Energy portfolio. This was expressed by deputy Jaime Araya (IND-PPD), who argued that “it is a very difficult political problem to solve, because it is a minister from the heart of the Frente Amplio who has to, perhaps for the first time, solve a problem of a complex public policy.”
“The breaks in trust that exist, the complexities that are existing within the coalitions is something that one cannot help but ponder,” he added.
All this in the midst of a possible questioning of the chief minister by the opposition, from which they have not yet ruled out a Constitutional Accusation regarding the increases in electricity rates.
For her part, the president of the Chamber of Deputies, Karol Cariola (PC), maintained that “we must look for fundamental solutions. A year ago the National Energy Commission warned that these increases were coming. It is an abuse, when we also know that there are contracts that are polluting, that are fossils, that are old, that we believe should be renegotiated.”
Meanwhile, Jaime Mulet (FRVS) pointed out that “the government, which has been very reluctant to increase resources for the subsidy, is opening up. Yesterday I had an important meeting with the minister, also at a political level, with the idea of properly putting pressure on the government to increase resources.”
